Children at the Conference

We are a family-friendly conference and encourage children to participate! Children ages 0-5 attend the conference free with a parent. Childcare is not available for ages 0-5 so a parent must accompany the child at all times.

Children ages 6-15 may attend the conference for a fee. See the conference registration rates above for more information. Children’s workshops and activities will be available at certain times throughout the conference. Visit our Children at the Conference page for information on children's activities.
